EDIT: looks like Egypt, irrigation canal and the light marks in the middle of the fields.

Indebted to @Giddierone who linked to this release in post #505, Geolocation Exercises thread.

From the current batch of releases via AARO, titled DOW-UAP-PR090, "24 AUG 2020 [CALLSIGN] (Mission) Observes UAP", https://www.war.gov/ufo/?releaseDat...090-24-AUG-2020-CALLSIGN-Mission-Observes-UAP

AARO assesses that this video, whose uploader-defined title is, "24 AUG 2020 [CALLSIGN] (Mission) Observes UAP," is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2020. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in August 2020.

Video Duration: 00:04:57

Video Description:

00:00-00:03: The sensor tracks an area of contrast as it moves down the left side of the screen.
00:03-00:21: The sensor pans to track the area of contrast within the center of its field-of-view.
00:22-01:04: The sensor zooms in on the area of contrast.
01:05-01:14: The area of contrast exits and re-enters the field of view several times.
01:15-04:57: No content.

The "area of contrast" appears to display slight fluctuations in brightness, perhaps shape as it moves. I can't think of any obvious reason why it couldn't be a bird.

Merged the Geolocation post here.

And this was a good candidate for Sitrec's Panorama extraction

Sitrec's Panorama extraction

Is that a new feature? Does it remove the black boxes?

The only interesting thing to come out of these video releases is the geolocation quizzes they present. This one had me marvelling at Egyptian landscaping and irrigation derived from canals (fairly certain it's Egypt) and wondering what the light patches in the fields are. Do they gather crops to one point, or is it livestock feed or fertilizer to be distributed, etc.

Somewhat new, it's just a bit flaky. You have to mask out the boxes and the border, then ot analyzes it and tries to make a panorama based on motion analysis.
